Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, Compact Travel Hunting Knife Sharpener Tool

I’ve wanted one of these for 5 years and finally pulled the trigger last week. I already own the Ken Onion WS sharpening system which cost about 5 times more than this and I’ve used it less than this field sharpener in just a few days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Used this so for on the following steels with excellent results: S30V, NitroV, 8crMOV, D2, and basic kitchen knife steel. A++Best $35 I’ve ever spent on the knife hobby. Hands down. Do yourself a favor and get one.

This thing is awesome. It's a great little handy tool for touching up various knives at home or in the field. Small and versatile, and way better than the cheap "V" thingies. It has two diamond grits, a ceramic rod that can hit serrations and fine tune and edge, and a leather strop area. Angle Guides on the ends. Small enough to have on hand, but just big enough to use on most knives. The diamond works on the harder, quality steels also. Super happy I picked this up. Great for bridging to your next serious sharpening session. Give it a try.

The Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener has been a great addition to my gear bag. I use it mostly for touching up my hunting and pocket knives while in the field, and it works flawlessly. The built-in angle guides take the guesswork out, and the diamond plates and ceramic rods cover all the bases. It’s compact, lightweight, and doesn’t require oil or water. For a portable sharpener, it really does a solid job every time.

This sharpener is great. Not only does it have 5 different sharpening stones, it also helps you get the angle needed on most edges. You can replace the sharpeners when they wear out, & has a place you can hide small objects under one of the diamond stones. The long ceramic sharpener will spin, & it has groves so you can sharpen fish, hooks, or serrated blades.

I have been getting into blade maintenance over the last year and have seen many video reviews on WorkSharp's products. When I happened across this, I knew it was a no-brainer. Going into the wilderness each summer for weeks at a time meant I would dull some blades, and we know that is a sin. This is very easy to use and understand how to use. It even comes with some Easter Eggs that it doesn't quite tell you about initially. It has two different grits to use, one very abrasive for reprofiling an edge, and one moderate grit for maintaining an edge. Along with that, it has three different ways to use the ceramic: a coarse ceramic, a fish hook sharpener (I would love to know who is able to keep a hook long enough to need sharpened!) and a smooth ceramic. Finally, it has a leather strop that already has compound applied. It is essentially an all-in-one made easy. It is very effective and using this, you can consistently have sharp knives whenever you need, wherever you need.Pros: Different grits, multiple ceramic types, leather strop, compact in size, guide ramps for 20 degree angles to maintain an accurate edge every time, swappable diamond grit plates (Found this out when I dropped it! Also found the included instructions in the storage compartment)Cons: Only have 20 degree guides for beginners, grits are very coarse and medium coarse only, leather strop is a bit skinnyOverall, I would recommend this to anyone starting out in the sharpening game, or a seasoned veteran. Mine has convinced others to get it simply by using it once because of how good and easy it is to use. 4/5 stars

A great little sharpener that is high quality and very portable. Definitely for the field when a quick sharpening is needed. I would not consider this for a bench top or workhorse sharpener, too small for that. Perfect for what it is...so good I bought two!!!

I like the ease in moving the blade across the plates. And it fits nicely into the case I bought separately for it.

This is a great compact and portable knife sharpener. Exactly what I was looking for to take on camping trips.
